I'm Samantha and I love to skate. I also like to shake things up a bit

i got a new computer.. macbook pro 15 inch[or w/e the smallest size is].. a few days ago. as soon as i got it, i put Alien Workshop & DC stickers over the outside, so that it felt like "my" computer. i miss my old little 12 inch powerbook g4.

college is back on. i'm enjoying this semester so far. most of my friends are doing hip-hop again aswell.. and i've already made some pals in my music theory class.

so tonight i went down to the waterfront to watch ESPN Sports Center get filmed.. since they're filming it down there all week.. and tons of people are going down to watch it. i wanted to get a better view, so i ran up this little part of the bridge by the canal, and i didn't realize their was a step up, and tripped and fell... i of corse had to be wearing short sleaves and a mini skirt.... i skinned both knees, my right arm and my left palm. i was bleeding so bad.. [it's been two hours, and my right knee is still bleeding].. it looked worse than any of my skate injuries have. ugh. no skirts or dresses thursday...


ONE DAY UNTIL 50 CENT!!!!

and 10 days until i'm 18.

was the universe just alligned for suckage today? First every house on my culdesac in my gated community got broken into around 4am.. EXCEPT for my house(thank god)..which has my mom flipping out in fear that our house could be next... Then, my mom decides to tell me I can only eat health food and basically gives me a list of stomach disease she thinks I have and what i can and can't eat... wake up call to her, I'm 18 in two weeks, you have no right to tell me what to eat, and hello it's called "i am lactose intollerant". And then obviously the worst of all, I go to look on TMZ and first thing on the page is "Heath Ledger has died".. I was never like a huge fan or anything.. but it's fucking shockking and sad.. he was waaayyy too young.
I swear stuff is going super wrong this month. Yesterday i found out the flash on my camera is broken, and it has to be sent back to Cannon which will take 4 to 6 weeks.... I'm seeing fucking 50 cent, Paris Hilton, FOB, and 23141154235 other A List celebs at the Super Bowl Village in 8 days, and I have no camera.. Well during the day it will work ok, but for 50 & Paris which are at night, I wont be able to take pix, unless i buy a new camera. ARGGHH.. When you spend $600 per ticket(well it was a birthday present from my mom) to go to a concert/event, you want to be able to take pix to remember it.
My $40 Scull Candy ipod head phones that i bought last month broke... And then lets not forget my computer hard drive failing, and getting the files saved is costing $500. And my ipod screen is cracked and needs to be fixed.. So basically.. I have around $3,000+ worth of electronics needing to be replaced...

In other things.. I'm getting new weaved in extentions(i'm sick of glue.. weaves last longer) put in tomorrow, so that I'll look perfect next week. I'm sticking to just brown/black, and I'm getting it styled to look kinda like Kimora Simmons/old school Rihanna/Beyonce...

Can anyone suggest any good shops that sell dresses? I am in desperate need to find the perfect hip-hop groupie-ish dress to wear to the 944 Super Bowl Village.. and I stil have no clue whos going with me to it.. Erica isn't sure on a ride, and Diana hasn't asked her dad... Watch me go alone. I'm not exactly sure I want to be alone at 10pm at a 50 Cent concert.

So i just found out that there going to be this big 4 day deal at the Waterfront for the Super Bowl, and on Thursday(of next week.. the 31st) 50 Cent and FOB are going to be preforming, and Paris Hilton and a ton of other celebs are going to be there.... YAY!!! I could careless about seeing FOB again, been there, done that, seen that show 5 times.. But I really want to see 50 Cent again since i missed half of his show back when i saw him open for Em in '05... plus i'm on this whole Rap kick of late...haha.. And it'll be really funny to see Paris Hilton... Wyclef is playing on Friday.. and the on Saturday Juilett Lewis and Velvet Revolver are playing.. theres a bunch of other celebs that are going to be there, like Pam Anderson, Brody Jenner, Kristin Cavalari (or w/e her name is), etc....
tix range in price from $100 to $1,000.. haha my mom said she'd get me the expensive tix as a b-day present. woooottt.. yay me.

was not a very good day in general. woke up late. my computers hard drive FAILED. the people at the computer repair place said theres a chance they won't be able to recover my files. i have to buy a new computer. and the water in the town of Paradise Valley is contaminated with metal cleaner and has been deemed unsafe to drink. though my legal address is Scottsdale, my house is basically in Paradise Valley, and falls under the area w/ contaminated water. oh joy. i'm somewhat worried about showering in the morning. :-/

in other things, my dad flew in to see me and said he'd buy me a macintosh air laptop for my birthday next month. though i'd rather have him pay for a party or just give me cash.


i HATE having to buy things out of nessecity, especially stuff like $2,000 computers. I HATE getting new computers... I like holding on to computers as long as I can.. and I only had my little 12 inch power book g4 for 3 years. and they no longer make 12 inch laptops.......i really like having tiny computers that can fit in your purse. :-S

i'm trying to plan what i'm going to do for my 18th birthday party... right now as far as venue, i'm thinking of renting a house in the mountain.. and for a theme i'm thinking Young Hollwood... anyone got any ideas for stuff i could do at the party? I was thinking i could have a "red carpet" w/ fake paparazzi...

i'm back. i guess i wasn't gone too long. less than a week. more or less i needed time to delete old journal entries(i'm still going to delete more of them), and get over being creeped out over people reposting & twisting around stuff from my journal to make me out to be someone that I am not. I felt stalked and violated, and possible legal action is being taken. To anyone out there that may be reading this and thinking of re-posting anything about me in a malicious manner on live journal or anywhere else, your IP address will be tracked and you will receive a letter from my mom's lawyer.

with that aside..it was nice taking a break from buzznet and not spending a whole lot of time online. i'm no longer going to be particularly personal in my blogs...i was listening to something on the radio the other day where they were talking about how anything you post online you need to be prepaired to live with for life, even if you go back and delete things, it's still stored as a record in other peoples computers. so it makes you think twice.

i'm done talking about this stuff.....................moving on.

Today I went and purchased a grind rail from industrial rideshop. i can wait to go and shred it up... basically right now i'm waiting for my portable dvd player to charge(theres no outlets in my garage), so i can watch some trick tips while i'm doing this stuff. haha i got onto the bar and then lost balance and twisted my ankle a little bit ago on it.. haha that god i bought gymnastic mats to put on the other side of the rail...

The web site for Kick Flip Couture is done. All I need to do know is call up my web server and get the domain pointed, as well as figuring out how the payment methodes will go.... But look forward to tech deck necklaces, as well as necklaces & bracelets made from recycled skateboard bearings....coming soon.

i'm sick of the internet.  there are so many people out there who spread nasty rumors.  take your blog entries and misquote them to twist things to make you look bad, when you didn't do anything at all.  theres the disconnect from actual human interaction.  theres the distract from doing things of worth.

i can't deal with the defimation of character and the potential dangers of rumors. i'm sorry for putting myself out there at all.

so i'm taking a break from the internet for awhile.  i will still come online for things like getting the news, tabs, and other things.. but no more social networking for the time being.

i will still be launching my jewelry line, Kick Flip Couture... so check out KickFlipCouture.com in a week or so to see whats up.

I'm starting a jewelry/clothing company.. (i know i said that a year ago, but i'm serious this time).... i'm purchasing a web site right now, and it should be up in a week or two... we're going to start out with jewelry, and then shirts and stuff..... it's going to be a mixture of girly skate stuff, scene, and punk...

here's a taste of some of the jewelry:
